The 2018 Private Motor Truck Council of Canada Awards Program is now open for entries. Each year the PMTC teams with member companies to celebrate the Best in Trucking through the presentation of awards that recognize excellence in trucking.
The awards are presented during the Annual Conference which, this year, takes place at The Crowne Plaza-Fallsview Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario on June 14th and 15th. Competition entry forms and information are available online at www.pmtc.ca.
The 2018 awards program includes:
The Rick Austin Memorial Dispatcher of the Year Award, Sponsored by CPC Logistics Canada
The Rick Austin Memorial Dispatcher of the Year Award is a new award for this year, and has been established as a tribute to the memory of Rick Austin, Fleet Dispatcher at CPC, who passed away suddenly on March 15th of 2017. Rick was assigned to the John Deere Fleet.
It’s a testament to Rick’s dedication, along with the rest of the supervisory team, that the John Deere Private Fleet won the PMTC National Fleet Safety Award in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
This award is designed to help recognize the exceptional, and often under-appreciated, efforts of dispatchers who have made an outstanding contribution to their company in the past year or over the course of their career.
PMTC President Mike Millian stated “The PMTC and its members are truly honoured to be asked by CPC Logistics Canada to facilitate the recognition of efforts by dispatchers who go above and beyond the call of duty to help ensure the drivers, and fleets that employ them, are the safest operators that they can be. The fact that we can be part of celebrating the memory of a truly great individual to recognize these efforts makes it that much more special.”
